The three Grade 1 races in North America on Saturday – the Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup at Keeneland and the Canadian International and E.P. Taylor at Woodbine – are intriguing contests on their own, offering quality and spiced with foreign flavor. Yet linked together in a two-track, all-turf pick four that also includes a 10th-race allowance at Keeneland, they hold even more wagering promise.

TimeformUS handicapper David Aragona highlights some contenders on Monday’s card at Belmont.
A little caveman-ticket late-pick-four action to close the Sunday card at Belmont. First, three stakes, then a seven-furlong 2-year-old allowance race to close the sequence. I’m for FOURSTAR CROOK (#7) in the Flower Bowl, race 8, and against COVFEFE (#6) in the Frizette, race 7.
